After careful consideration, I decided it was time for a more modern looking portfolio website. All the front end content is now pulled from a json file, created from a simple php script, and shown on the page using jquery and javascript. The only php on the front end is to determine if the administrator is logged in. The backend is coded entirely with php and some jquery. Bootstrap was used to allow the website to be mobile friendly and to look clean and modern.

After careful consideration, me and the owner of the site decided it would be best to switch nana land to use wordpress. I added the ability to easily update the carousel and for users to easily register to the site to leave comments for Nana. Why did I choose to switch it to wordpress? After using it for a while, I realized how versatile and fun it is to customize it. It also has a solid back end as well as custom theme support. This allows for a quicker turn-around for the client.
